Spring soccer is already well underway in some parts of the country (and completed in some cases), allowing for fine-tuning and opportunities for players to earn minutes in the competitive slate of the season.
International additions are still on the horizon for 2023, with that and transfers still making an impact on the latest women’s Division I Recruiting Rankings.
Below is the Top 30 classes as of March 2023.
Please send any corrections or omissions to editor@topdrawersoccer.com.
1. North Carolina (1)
Commitments: F Melina Rebimbas (PDA – No. 3), D Evelyn Shores (Tophat SC – No. 7), D Savannah King (LAFC So Cal – No. 10), F Mia Oliaro (NC Courage – No. 16), F Olivia Thomas (Michigan Hawks – No. 17), GK Abby Gundry (NC Courage – No. 26), F Ella Smith (Charlotte Independence SC)
Another strong class is heading to Chapel Hill, including U17 World Cup veterans Rebimbas and King.
2. Stanford* (2)
Commitments: M Mia Bhuta (Internationals SC – No. 4), M Shae Harvey (Slammers FC HB Koge – No. 13), F Erica Grilione (Davis Legacy – No. 25), M Joelle Jung (MVLA – No. 31), F Maryn Wolf (San Diego Surf – No. 147), GK Alyssa Savig (Placer United SC)
Losing Thompson to a pro opportunity is a huge blow, though the Cardinal have still added a stacked class. Bhuta and Harvey should be able to come in and play right away. It’s an elite reinforcement in the midfield for sure.
3. Florida State (3)
Commitments: D Maggie Taitano (San Diego Surf – No. 8), D Amelia Van Zanten (Eclipse Select – No. 20), F Jordynn Dudley (United Futbol Academy – No. 23), M Peyton Nourse (Colorado Rush – No. 30)
Transfers: M Taylor Huff (Tennessee), M Claire Rain (Tennessee), F Lily Farkas (Michigan)
The Seminoles are knocking on the door for the No. 2 class. Dudley was recently called into youth national team camp.
